Wheeler, Woolsey; Weber, Field; All Are Good But Levy, Hall Are Better Kosmet Offers Something That Tops Even Amos And Andy. i By Forey Cord The screen has its Wheeler and Woolseys, the stage Its Weber and Fields, the radir its Amos Hnd Andy, but the University of Ne braska has something even better Levy and Hall, inimitable comedy team which will grace the stage in "High and Dry," musical comedy of the Kosmet Klub. This affable pair will go thru their an tics as a pair of sailors when the show is presented on the Liberty stage, May 1 and 2. Nate Levy takes the part of Henry, who, altho he is smart as sailors go, la not as quick men tally u be might be. This is aptly illustrated when he makes amor ous advances toward Sheela, can nibal mistress. Bob Hall portrays the role of Orville, Henry's sailing mate. His lines are witty and as contrasted with he dull-minded conversation u. lenry he fairly sparkles with effervetiant humor. Cast on Isle.

This fee, the chancellor ex plained, would entitle ail students to the use of the pool, although those desiring to enter swimming clasncn would still have to pay a fee for instruction. Not Enough Ground. At the same time, the chancel lor announced that architects had pronounced impossible the prop osal to erect a separate building for the pool, for not enough ground is available. The chancellor pointed out that legal phases of the plan had not been fully examined, but said that an assured income of $6,000 or more every semester under the $1 fee system would give an adequate guarantee of funds to pay for the pool, and bonds could "then be floated. The $1 fee would be similar to the medical fee now paid cvciy semester, which the chancellor de clared had aided materially in im proving student health conditions. Will Endorse Plan. In a four page statement con cerning the pool, the chancellor err pressed himself as being heartily in favor of the project. He told a Daily Nebraskan reporter that if the students would favor the idea of the SI payment, he himself would endorse the plan, and would recommend it to the board of re gents when they meet Saturday. He added that it was his opinion , umi uic yiinn wouiu nave a gooo cnance or pasnng. Meanwhile, Dean H. H. Foster of the college of law is investigat ing the legal phases of the project, and will report to the regents Sat urday. T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs, added his expres sions of approval to the swimming pool plan as proposed by Burnett, and declared that in his opinion practically all administrative offi cials were in sympathy with the plan. Makes Statement. The chancellor's statement: "The effort of the student body to promote a swimming pool at the University is a most commendable enterprise and should have the support of both the students and the administration. "The editorials appearing in the Nebraskan would seem to indicate some lack of confidence in the good will of the administration toward this enterprise. We wish, however, to assure you that cau tion as to procedure and thoro f;i vestigation of not only the legal phases but of the methods of financing such an enterprise are essential to its success. The ad ministration of the university would be remiss In its duties to the regents if it recommended to them (Continued on Page 3.1 staff mutinies Orville and Henry refuse to crops their leader and they loo are cast with the passen gnrs of the yacht upon the Isle of SliPela.

There in the middle of the isle, quite unmolested except for Henry's constant Interruption, Or ville and Sheelah lead a simple, domestic life In complacent hap piness until Naga, the queen's na tive lover returns. This was most untimely, for the two sailors and Orville's grief over losing his best girl cannot be described with mere words. There is nothing so heart ren dering as a man who is disap pointed In love. In this case our sailor is not only disappointed but he is chagrined, disillusioned, grief stricken, and plays a good game of deck tennis.
